Nikolas: My wife's visiting me today. I'd like to get a razor if I could, get rid of this beard.
Guard: I'll see what I can do.
Nikolas: I'd like to look like the man she married.
Elizabeth: Aren't you supposed to be with Nikolas?
Emily: Hey. I have some work to finish before I leave.
Elizabeth: Maybe. But I can see you're stalling.
Emily: This will be the first time that I've seen Nikolas in weeks. You know, Elizabeth, I should be happy, but instead I'm dreading it.
Elizabeth: Honey, I know this has been really difficult for you, but, believe me, you made the right decision by choosing to tell Nikolas about the rape.
Emily: Saying that I was raped is bad enough, but that the man was Connor Bishop, someone Nikolas despised and warned me against and who looks exactly like Nikolas -- it's going to hurt him so much, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth: Yes, but keeping the secre is going to hurt you both even more. Nikolas loves you, emily. He's going to want to help you.
Emily: He can't.
Elizabeth: I think you keep forgetting how strong your husband is.
Emily: See, it's not about strength. It's that there's nothing that can be done. See, Connor's dead. Nikolas can't save me, and he's going to feel angry and frustrated.
Elizabeth: I know, okay, okay, listen to me, you and Nikolas love each other. Trust that, okay? And just take all your negative thoughts and all your fears and, instead of letting them build up, ju let them go. Banish them from your mind and in their place put all the happiness you've shared together, your future plans, the love you felt for each other, because believe it or not, it's still there. It hasn't gone anywhere. And that love is what's going to save you.
Emily walks slowly into a meeting room at Pentonville and sees Nikolas. As she stands there, she remembers back to when Nikolas proposed to her for the very first time.
Nikolas' Voice: Everything I need is right here.
Emily's Voice: I love you so much.
Nikolas: Will you marry me?
Emily: Yes. I will.
Nikolas: Remember me, your husband?
Emily: No, of course. It's good to see you.
Nikolas: Just you looked a little surprised. Do you prefer the beard, you know, because I --
Emily: No, no, not at all. It's just the way you look just sort of caught me off guard a little bit.
Nikolas: Oh. Because, you know, I'll grow it back. I mean, I'll grow it down to my knees if that's what you really want.
Emily: No, don't be silly. Nikolas, you look great.
Nikolas: So do you.
Emily: Helena has surfaced in Port Charles. Tracy's seen her. So has Luke.
Nikolas: Luke, Luke. Does he have a plan? What's he going to do?
Emily: I don't know the details, but Luke is certain that he's going to be able to catch her this time.
Nikolas: Well, will you just please let him handle it? I don't want you taking any more chances trying to get me released from here.
Emily: Yeah, don't worry. I've learned my lesson.
Nikolas: You know, if Luke's right, I mean, I -- I could be out of here any day now.
Emily: I know. It's wonderful.
Nikolas: Yeah. The first thing we're going to do is take our honeymoon. I've been thinking about it for -- for months in here, just me and my bride.
Emily: I'm not -- I'm not a bride anymore.
Emily: I'm not the person that I used to be, Nikolas, and you need to understand that.
Nikolas: I -- I do.
Emily: You can't.
Nikolas: Emily, you killed a man. That changes people.
Emily: Killing Connor is part of the problem, Nikolas, but there's more.
Nikolas: Yeah, I know, I know -- A.J.'s death and everything that went along with it, how hard it was on you and your family, but things are going to get better, okay? I'm going to get out here, and then we can finally start our lives together. Why --
Emily: I'll never regret loving you or the time that we spent together, but we're -- we're not going to have a life together.
Nikolas: What -- what are you saying to me? Are you saying you don't love me anymore?
Emily: I'll love you forever, Nikolas, but I can't be your wife.
Nikolas: Okay, okay, are you -- are you angry with me because of the amnesia? Because I brought Connor and Mary into our lives? Is that it?
Emily: No, Nikolas, I'm not angry with you at all.
Nikolas: Then why do you want to hurt me like this?
Emily: Oh, God. Nikolas, I don't. It's just the opposite. I -- I want you to have a wonderful life, look, filled with every amazing thing that you deserve. I just -- I can't be a part of it, and I need a divorce.
Nikolas: What? I -- I don't get it. You know? That might have made sense three months ago, when it looked like I was -- I was never going to get out of here! But I could be released any day, Emily, so why in god's name would you want to leave me now?
Emily: Look, I'm not the woman that you married.
Nikolas: That's --
Emily: Nikolas, please don't fight me on this. You have to let me go.
Nikolas: No. No. I'm not going to let you throw us away like this. And I'm not going to let you go. I love you too much for that. Come here, just --
Emily: Stop! Get away from me! Get away from me!
